The nation's most powerful computer has been unveiled at the Australian National University (ANU) in Canberra.
Researchers at the ANU say the computer can perform the same number of calculations in one hour that 7 billion people with calculators could perform in 20 years.
ANU Professor Lindsay Botten says the computer itself is bigger than the size of a house.
"It has 57,000 processing cores which is something like 15,000 ordinary personal computers [PCs]," he said.
"It has 160 terabytes of memory which is like 40,000 ordinary PCs.
"It has 10,000 terabytes of disk which would be like 10,000 ordinary PCs."
"If every person on the face of the earth had a desk calculator and they worked for a week or two weeks, 12 hour days, this machine would do that work in a second," he said.

This is the one we do most of our work on.

By mid 2014 it will be upgraded to about the same size as the ANU machine (which itself may have been upgraded by then).

SubscriberAs late as 2002 this computer was still in use at a dairy that I worked at. [ame="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cromemco"]Cromemco - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/ame]
From the specs given the model they had was a system1cs1. So was about twenty years old. You wern`t allowed to stand in front of the monitor for too long.They have come a long way since then.

For sure some one will come with a faster supercomputer than the Tianhe-2 which achieved 33.86 petaflops and a memory 1,375 TiB
I do not think that any university here can afford a near $400 million SC
